Veterans Deserve The Highest Accolades and Respect!

I rarely write or comment on individual episodes in K-Dramas, and not because I don’t want to, but because I like to wait and comment on the show itself. However, this episode touched me in the deepest way possible. I have the utmost respect for anyone who serves their country in its defense and during times of war. One of the best TV shows ever done—and still resonates with me each time I watch it—is Band of Brothers. I have also read numerous books on WWII about the brotherhood and unconditional love that exists on the field of battle. Every veteran should be given such respect and treatment. This episode features a veteran of the Korean War. He believes his life has been a series of hardships without any real recognition or reward. Suffering from PTSD, he’s largely shunned by the community, and he sees his life as not amounting to much. In short, he sees his life as a failure. The Reapers quickly remind him that his life has been anything but a failure! He’s given his heart, soul, blood, and mind to the service of his country. How can any such service be deemed a failure? It can’t! Thus, one of the most empowering and tender moments I have ever witnessed is given to this brave man as every single Reaper comes to pay their respects and to help escort him to the next life. What a moment!Have a box of tissues nearby for this one! And remember to thank your servicemen and veterans whenever you can. They deserve at least that much!
